HTML Formatting Bug in UIWebView

Question

Hi all,

    I am trying to load a html string as
NSString *htmlData = @"This is a  <b> bold text </b>  ";

    [aWebView loadHTMLString:htmlData baseURL:nil];

but i am not getting the out as bold text. Its just displaying the output as bold text

What am i doing wrong ?

I guess this is a bug in WebView , as it is not able to render the htmlentities properly.

Thanks Biranchi

Not sure from your question what you want exactly, some of the markup has been likely eaten by stackoverflow.

Anyway this HTML:

This is a  <b> bold text </b>

display as:

This is a  <b> bold text </b>

Whereas this HTML:

This is a  <b> bold text </b>

displays as:

This is a  <b>bold text </b>

Finally this:

This is a  <b>bold text </b>

display actual bold text:

This is a bold text
